Just a few years ago chickens displaced pigs as the #1 source of animal protein consumed by humans.
As is true of most “domesticated” animals, chooks enjoy/suffer a host of different “fates”.
Millions suffer appallingly, en route to being devoured, but that is not invariably true.
Nor does every member of a “meat” species end up on a plate.
And some experience kinder, more compassionate treatment from humans than do millions of people.
I am almost certain that the pictured Moroccan rooster enjoyed a more pampered life than did many of his human compatriots.
